Black & Blue Grilled Flat Iron Steak Recipe
Grilled Flat Iron Steak is cut from the Chuck (shoulder) area of the cow and are perfect for fast grilling over hot coals. They’re an inexpensive cut which is great for the budget, but these steaks can be tough if you over cook them. You want to take flat irons to the rare to medium rare temperature range and get them off the heat. Prepared this way they are tender and juicy! First I use a marinade to impart some flavor into the grilled flat iron steak. Balsamic Vinegar enhances the flavor of beef and I’m pairing it with a little soy sauce, garlic, shallot and a little brown sugar to balance it out. Flat Iron Steak Balsamic Marinade:- ¼ cup Balsamic Vinegar
- ¼ cup Soy Sauce
- ¼ cup Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Shallot finely chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 stick Butter softened
- 2oz Blue Cheese crumbles
- 1 Tablespoon Shallot finely chopped
- ½ Tablespoon Garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Killer Hogs Steak Rub
